750 ml bottle. Color is a dark liquid, dirty brown on the edges and black in the center. No head with weak carbonation. Nose is oak, Earthy wet basement and weak roasted malts. Flavor starts with oak barrel, tart sour fruits, has a slight dry roasted sweetness to it as well. It’s sour and tart but not in a good way. More like a home brew that wasn’t meant to be sour. This was like a sour brown or a stout done really wrong. Anyhow sourheads that come across this shouldn’t expect much. The one thing I did like about it was the big oak characteristic. Not much else.

22 oz. bottle purchased @ Nikki’s Liquors Providence, R.I. Hazy gold color without any head at all. Simple brew from start to finish. Nose and flavor is the same. Taste is wheat, sweet grainy in texture with lemon citrus notes. This would be nice on a hot summer day. Overall, simple and somewhat bland.

Bottle @ Ratman’s house. Thanks Ken! Pours a cloudy yellow appearance with a white head. Straw/pale grainy, bready yeasty, zesty lemon, somewhat funky aroma. Dry grainy, tangy fruity, chewy yeasty, straw, easy drinking flavor with a dry finish. I’m not sure I get any cranberries but it is a nice session beer.

Bomber from the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with a large creamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of pale malts and snappy citrus and floral hops notes. The taste is floral and citrus hops with pale malts. Simple, clean and well-balanced. Medium bodied with moderate lingering bitterness. Excellent beer, but what else should I have expected from these guys?

Bomber from Half Time. Pours copper with a slight bubbly/foamy white head. Aroma is light roast malt with chocolate notes. Med body. Almost. Flavor is light roast malt with that ongoing chocolate thing. Sort of a pale ale trying to be a brown ale. It works pretty well and the dry hopping seems to be keeping it bitter. Not a standout, but a pretty good beer.
